Money Moral Dilemma: Should I go back to the supermarket that didn't charge me and offer to pay?

The payment is probably just delayed and will appear at some point.

The transaction could show up months later, so don’t worry about it.

Had this happen to me a few times when credit cards were done by hand using a card machine.

The assistant filled in the little booklet but didn't put my card through the machine.

Also made withdrawals at a cash machine. Gave me my money, but not taken from my bank account.

Also had cash machine dispensing £20s instead of £10s

My husband had a similar event.  He went to buy groceries and a bottle of whisky.  Due to a mishap the whisky wasn't charged so he went back the next day to pay.  My reaction was it would cause a lot of hassle and their prices cover stealing. He was threatened with prosecution for shop-lifting and if he identified the assistant he/she would have been dismissed.  Honesty was not the best policy!

I accidentally failed to pay for a pack of toilet rolls many moons ago as they were hanging on the hook on my trolley and I didn't realise until I checked my receipt when I got home. I was mortified because I have never intentionally stolen anything in my life but i decided it was probably better that I donated the equivalent amount of money to charity rather than drive all the way back to the supermarket (14 mile round trip) and then try to get them to figure out how I pay for it after the event.

You did what you needed to do so in turn it is no longer your fault. I wouldn't worry about it, like others are saying if they want to they can easily charge you.
